If you are looking for Revit content and don't mind paying for it, I can across a new site from Turbo Squid called the Revit Market. Thanks to Revit Norge for pointing this out.
If you don't find what you need or like the prices, then you can always contact my buddy Daniel Hurtubise @ RevitIt for Revit Consulting and Content Creation.
